The present invention addresses a problem of providing a grease composition for a speed reducer and a speed increaser, excellent in both leakage prevention performance and energy transfer efficiency. The grease composition for a speed reducer and a speed increaser contains a base oil (A), and nanofibers (B) having a thickness (d) of 1 to 500 nm, wherein the nanofibers (B) are one or more selected from cellulose nanofibers (B1) and modified cellulose nanofibers (B2).

Provided is a low sulfated ash engine oil lubricant composition containing organic friction modifiers with improved fuel economy and corrosion resistance. The lubricant composition includes one or more metal free corrosion inhibitors having an organic acid group and/or one or more organo metallic naphthalene molecules having a ASTM D2896 total base number less than 3 mg KOH/g. The resulting lubricant composition improves ASTM D6557 corrosion protection for low sulfated ash engine oils containing organic friction modifiers, while maintaining exceptional fuel economy performance.

A lubricating oil composition is described. The composition includes a base oil, a first succinimide dispersant composition comprising a reaction product of a hydrocarbyl succinimide and an aromatic glycidyl ether having a structure:

##STR00001##

wherein R.sub.1 is an aryl or alkaryl group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group; and a second succinimide dispersant.

The present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition containing a base oil (A) containing an olefin-based polymer (A1) having an area ratio of a peak derived from a hydride (A11) of a decene trimer of 80% or more relative to 100% of a total area of peaks derived from the olefin-based polymer (A1) detected in a chromatogram and having predetermined kinematic viscosity, flash point, and pour point, a viscosity index improver (B) containing a comb-shaped polymer (B1), and an organic molybdenum-based compound (C), in which the content of the comb-shaped polymer (B1) is regulated within a specified range and having a HTHS viscosity at each of 150° C. and 50° C. of the lubricating oil composition and a NOACK value in predetermined ranges, respectively.

The present invention relates to an aqueous lubricant composition for the lubrication of a stationary or mobile drive system, comprising at least: deionized water; at least one polyalkylene glycol; at least one antifreeze compound chosen from glycols, and at least one phosphorus compound.

It also relates to the use of this aqueous lubricant composition for the lubrication and cooling of a stationary or mobile drive system.

An engine oil additive includes carbon nanotubes and boron nitride particulates dispersed within a fluid. The additive is configured to be mixed with a quantity of oil such that the quantity of oil has a concentration from 0.05 to 0.5 grams of carbon nanotubes and of boron nitride particulates per quart of oil to improve the lubricity of the oil. The additive improves the horsepower and torque of the engine while reducing fuel consumption. The carbon nanotubes have an —OH functionalized exterior surface. The carbon nanotubes have a diameter from 1 nanometer to 50 nanometers and have a length from 1 micron to 1000 microns. The boron nitride particulates are hex-boron nitride structures having an average size from 30 nanometers to 500 nanometers.
